Re: OT: Wrecks losing respect amongst other coaches..
6b. Chump of the week: Jeff Triplette.
This, a thousand times, this. Triplette is a TERRIBLE, horrendous official. Just the fact that he keeps his job year after year tells me that the NFL doesn't care much at all about the quality of referees it puts on the field. Watching games with this guy as the ref is a painful experience. IMNSHO, the quality of the referees in the NFL is low - 2nd worst only to the NBA (though by a wide margin there ). It diminishes my enjoyment of the game when chump referees are calling a shoddy and inconsistent game.

Showing my lazy ignorance here but I thought that the NFL reviewed and graded its officials. If so, how can the bottom 10% still be officiating. I also thought that only the highest graded crews officiated post season. Is/was this true?
Given that the NFL is a 10 figure business, right up there with entertainment value (the player talent), game integrity has to figure prominently. That means of course that the gambling risk of fixing games has to be dealt with, but just after that comes non-NBA style officiating. I could think of nothing worse to the NFL's business growth model than having the fan base at large come to believe that game outcome was a capricious or worse function of officials. I'd be on this easily addressed threat big time were I an owner.

I cannot fathom how this guy still has a job. He must have compromising pictures of someone. For some fun reading, just google 'jeff triplette'. Especially entertaining is the time he didn't know the OT coin flip rules, and gave the ball to the wrong team. Incompetent, and he's still around. don't know why.

Was it the Lions Steelers game of 2000?

peyton manning is a frequent user of the fake spike, and "sold it" so well in a 2001 game against new orleans that triplette blew the whistle to stop the play, costing the colts a possible touchdown.[4]
lololololol.
